Preferred individual compounds are:

1-[4-(4-methoxyphenylethynyl)phenoxy]-2-diethylaminoethane,

1-(3-phenylethynylphenoxy)-2-diethylaminoethane,

1-[4-(4-fluorophenylethynyl)phenoxy]-2-diethylaminoethane,

1-methyl-1-(3-phenylethynylphenoxy)-2-dimethylaminoethane and

2-methyl-1-(3-phenylethynylphenoxy)-2-dimethylaminoethane.

The arylphenylacetylene compounds of the formula I are novel and are obtained by the following methods, in which the formulae IV and X in reaction scheme A are to be understood as subformulae of I: ##STR6##

In scheme A, the symbols R₁, R₂, Q, X, Y and Z are as defined for formula I and Ia. Halogen is chlorine, but bromine and iodine are preferred.

Method α is a process which makes it possible, using metal catalysts, to bond halogenated aromatic radicals, as in formula III or V, to terminal acetylene groups, as in formulae II, VI and VII, under mild reaction conditions, in the presence of an acid acceptor. Reactions of this kind are described in the following publications: K. Sonogashira, Y. Tohda and N. Hagihara, Tetrahedron Lett., 50, 4467 (1975); L. Cassar, J. Organomet. Chem., 93, 253 (1975), and H. A. Dieck and F. R. Heck. J. Organomet. Chem., 93, 259 (1975).

This reaction advantageously takes place in organic solvents which are inert to the reactants. Suitable solvents of this kind are many protic and aprotic solvents, e.g. alkanols, ketones, ethers, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic solvents or also e.g. dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile or tertiary amines.

As dehydrohalogenation occurs during the reaction, a base can be used as acid acceptor. Suitable bases are e.g. strong inorganic bases such as triethylamine, diethylamine, pyridine, alcoholates etc. The amount of base employed in the reaction is from 1 to 5 equivalents.

As metal catalysts it is preferred to use palladium salts or complexes, in particular palladium chloride (PdCl₂), palladium acetate (Pd(OCOCH₃)₂), or the palladium dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine) complex PdCl₂ [P(C₆ H₅)₃ ]₂, usually with the addition of a copper(I) salt, especially of copper(I) iodide. The catalysts are employed by themselves or applied to a carrier, e.g. ground charcoal, alumina etc.

The reaction temperatures are generally in the range from 0° C. to 200° C., but are in the main between room temperature and the boiling point of the reaction mixture. As the reactions are often slightly exothermic, it is advantageous to raise the temperature in the reaction vessel for a short time in order to increase the reaction rate. The reaction times are generally from 1/2 hour to 48 hours.

Method β makes it possible, in the presence of a strong base such as NaOH, KOH or an alcoholate to liberate the acetylene from a tertiary ethynyl ethanol, as in formulae VII, VIII and IX, which may be understood as a protected terminal acetylene group, with removal of the keto protective group, as in formulae II, VI and IX. The ketones obtained as by-products can be removed from the reaction mixture by distillation during the reaction. Reactions of this kind are described in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2 905 507 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,128,588.

It is advantageous to conduct this reaction in inert organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic solvents, or also in dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or acetonitrile. The reaction temperature in this case is also in the range between room temperature and the boiling point of the solvent. The reaction time is generally from 1/2 hour to 12 hours.

Method γ is a combination of methods α and β, except that the acetylene to be reacted by method α is prepared in situ by treating a protected acetylene of the formula VII, VIII and IX with a strong base. The reaction conditions are identical with those of method α. However, the addition of a strong base such as NaOH, KOH or the alkali metal salt of an alcohol, is mandatory.

In the process of this invention, compounds of the formula IV ##STR7## are obtained either by reacting an ethynyl compound of the formula II

    Z--C.tbd.CH                                                (II)

in the presence of an acid acceptor and of a metal catalyst, optionally in an inert gas atmosphere, with a phenyl halide of the formula III ##STR8## or by reacting an aromatic halide of the formula V

    Z--Hal                                                     (V)

under the same reaction conditions, with a phenylacetylene of the formula VI ##STR9## in which formulae above R₁, R₂, Y, Q and Z are as defined for formula Ia and Hal is bromine or iodine.

In a further process of the invention, the compounds of the formula IV are obtained by reacting an aromatic halide of the formula V

    Z--Hal                                                     (V)

in the presence of an acid acceptor and of a metal catalyst, optionally in an inert gas atmosphere, with a propargyl alcohol of the formula VII ##STR10## and reacting the resultant ethynyl compound of the formula VIII ##STR11## in the presence of a strong base and of a metal catalyst, optionally in an inert gas atmosphere, with a phenyl halide of the formula III ##STR12## or a reacting the phenyl halide of the formula III, under the above reaction conditions, initially with the propargyl alcohol of the formula VII and then reacting the resultant ethynyl compound of the formula IX ##STR13## under the above reaction conditions, with the aromatic halide of the formula V, in which formulae above R₁, R₂, Q, Y and Z are as defined for formula IV, Hal is bromine or iodine, and alkyl is a C₁ -C₄ alkyl radical.

The 1,1-dialkyl-3-arylpropargyl alcohols of the formulae VIII and IX, which are also novel and which have been specially developed as intermediates for obtaining the compounds of the formula I, are prepared in a manner similar to that of the first reaction step of the above described process, by reacting halides of the formula V or VI with a propargyl alcohol of the formula VII. The compounds of the formulae VIII and IX likewise constitute an object of the invention.

In a further process, the compounds of the formula X ##STR14## are obtained by reacting the compounds of the formula IV with an acid HX, in which formulae R₁, R₂, Q, X, Y and Z are as defined for formulae I and Ia.

The starting materials of the formulae II, III, V, VI and VII are known or readily obtainable and/or commercially available.

The novel compounds of the formula I are stable compounds. The compounds of the subformula IV have relatively good solubility in conventional organic solvents and are poorly soluble in water. They can be readily precipitated from the reaction solution by the addition of water. They are formulated to liquid herbicidal compositions with the aid of conventional solubilisers and/or dispersants.

The compounds of the subformula X are readily soluble in water, but are relatively poorly soluble even in polar organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl formamide or acetonitrile.

The herbicidal activity of 1-(4-phenylethynylphenoxy)-2-diethylaminoethane has been recently discovered and was disclosed for the first time in Phytochemistry, 19, 61 (1980).

The arylphenylacetylene compounds of the formula I influence plant growth and, in postemergence application, have an excellent selective herbicidal action against resistent broad-leafed weeds such as Galium, Veronica, Viola, and also against Sinapis, Chrysanthemum etc., in maize and rice crops, but primarily in crops of cereals. Perennial weeds in particular are effectively controlled by the translocation of the compounds of formula I. By translocation is meant the transportion of an active ingredient within the plant. The active ingredient can be translocated from the leaves to the roots and vice versa, and there exert its action.

The compounds of the formula I are translocatable, i.e. weeds are damaged right through to the roots by them, e.g. by leaf application.

The compounds of the formula I are used in unmodified form or, preferably, together with the adjuvants conventionally employed in the art of formulation, and are therefore formulated in known manner to emulsifiable concentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granulates, and also encapsulations in e.g. polymer substances. The methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, scattering or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances, just like the nature of the compositions.

The formulations, i.e. the compositions or preparations containing the compound (active ingredient) of the formula I and, where appropriate, a solid or liquid adjuvant, are prepared in known manner, e.g. by homogeneously mixing and/or grinding the active ingredients with extenders, e.g. solvents, solid carriers and, where appropriate, surface-active compounds (surfactants).

Suitable solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalenes, phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, alcohols and glycols and their ethers and esters, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethyl formamide, as well as epoxidised vegetable solids such as epoxidised coconut oil or soybean oil; or water.

The solid carriers used e.g. for dusts and dispersible powders are normally natural mineral fillers such as calcite, talcum, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. In order to improve the physical properties it is also possible to add highly dispersed silicic acid or highly dispersed absorbent polymers. Suitable granulated adsorptive carriers are porous types, for example pumice, broken brick, sepiolite or bentonite; and suitable nonsorbent carriers are materials such as calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of preganulated materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used, e.g. especially dolomite or pulverised plant residues.

Depending on the nature of the active ingredient to be formulated, suitable surface-active compounds are nonionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term "surfactants" will also be understood as comprising surfactant mixtures.

Suitable anionic surfactants can be both water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds.

Suitable soaps are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C₁₀ -C₂₂), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures which can be obtained e.g. from coconut oil or tallow oil. Mention may also be made of fatty acid methaltaurin salts.

More frequently, however, so-called synthetic surfactants are used, especially fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates.

The fatty sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts and contain a C₈ -C₂₂ alkyl radical which also includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecylsulfate or of a mixture of fatty alcohol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acids. These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfuric acid esters and sulfonic acids of adducts of fatty alcohols and ethylene oxide. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Also suitable are corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of the phosphoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonylphenol with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide.

Non-ionic surfactants are preferably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, or saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, said derivatives containing 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols.

Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are the water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediaminepolypropylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit.

Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenol-polyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide, adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan and polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.

Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts which contain, as N-substituent, at least one polyglycol ether or C₈ -C₂₂ alkyl radical and, as further substituents, lower unsubstituted or halogenated alkyl, benzyl or lower hydroxylalkyl radicals or fatty acid. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates, e.g. stearyltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.

The surfactants customarily employed in the art of formulation are described e.g. in the following publications: "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual," MC Publishing Corp., Ringwood, New Jersey, 1979; Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents," Chemical Publishing Co. Inc., New York, 1964.

The pesticidal formulations usually contain 0.1 to 99%, preferably 0.1 to 95%, of a compound of the formula I, 1 to 99.9% of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and 0 to 25%, preferably 0.1 to 25%, of a surfactant.

Preferred formulations are composed in particular of the following constituents (%=percentage by weight):

solvent: 95 to 5%, preferably 90 to 0%

surfactant: 1 to 30%, preferably 2 to 20%

Granulates

active ingredient: 0.5 to 30%, preferably 3 to 15%

solid carrier: 99.5 to 70%, preferably 97 to 85%.

Whereas commercial products will be preferably formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations. The formulations can be diluted to a concentration as low as 0.001%. The rates of application are normally 0.1 to 10 kg a.i./ha, preferably 0.25 to 5 kg a.i./ha.

The formulations can also contain further additives such as stabilisers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders, adhesives, as well as fertilisers or other active compounds, in order to attain special effects.

(a) To a solution of 35.2 g (0.19 mole) of 4-bromofluorobenzene and 25.2 g (0.3 mole) of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butine in 250 ml of triethylamine are added, under nitrogen, 1 g of the palladium complex PdCl₂ [P(C₆ H₅)₃ ]₂ and 0.2 g of copper(I) iodide. The reaction mixture is subsequently stirred for 24 hours at 70° C. After filtering off triethylammonium bromide and removing excess triethylamine by evaporation, the residue is taken up in 200 ml of ether and the solution is washed twice with 100 ml of 5% aqueous HCl solution and 100 ml of water, dried, treated with activated charcoal, and evaporated to dryness. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel with a 1:1 mixture of ether/hexane, affording 26.4 g (78%) of 1-fluoro-4-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butyn-1-yl)-benzene with a melting point of 124° C.

(b) To a solution of 25.2 g (0.1 mole) of 1-4-(bromophenoxy)-2-diethylaminoethane and 17.8 g (0.1 mole) of 1-fluoro-4-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butyn-1-yl)benzene in 250 ml of triethylamine are added, under nitrogen, 11.2 g of pulverised potassium hydroxide, 0.7 g of the palladium complex PdCl₂ [P(C₆ H₅)₃ ]₂ and 0.13 g of copper(I) iodide. The reaction mixture is subsequently stirred for 14 hours at 80° C. The reaction mixture is taken up in 250 ml of ether and the solution is washed twice with 100 ml of water and 100 ml of aqueous K₂ CO₃ solution, treated with activated charcoal and evaporated to dryness. Vacuum distillation of the residue yields 9.5 g (33%) of 1-[4-(4-fluorophenylethynyl)phenoxy]-2-diethylaminoethane with a boiling point of 156°-162° C./0.08 mb.
